DKCM invests client assets using a variety of arbitrage and other event-driven strategies, including risk arbitrage transactions and investments in financially distressed companies. The firm's primary investment strategies include distressed investing, mergers and acquisitions (or risk) arbitrage, long/short equities, and convertible and volatility arbitrage. As distressed investment opportunities are identified, they are subjected to rigorous, fundamental, bottom-up analysis.

Scopus employs a similar investment strategy amongst all of the Funds. The investment objective is to achieve superior returns through capital appreciation by investing, on a long and short basis, generally in common stocks and derivative instruments, including, without limitation, those linked to US equity markets (such as options, warrants, convertible securities, forward contracts, futures, swaps and ETFs). The firm’s investment approach involves a combination of extensive fundamental research and bottom-up financial analysis to identify investment opportunities that are materially undervalued (in the case of long positions) or overvalued (in the case of short positions).
